blog dog

i havnt blogged like a harry hard out in a while so thought i'd better fill some space with blah that i've been doing.

Um...

Well I spose more flash/ dreamweaver learning with Edwina, freaky learning new software. its such a media tool so I getting a good buzz off that side of it, and good to push my brain heh heh.

So just plodding along with that, learning and working tutorials so I am able to build my high and mighty "artwork". A dunedin map featuring videos/arty films/ documentary visuals/audio/ still image/ object to be posted (maybe)/......concept pending.

This idea was formed through my obsession with art as a dcoumentary tool, and tourists creating a dense google image library.
Stylistically I was sifting around on the soundseeker page which have created a site with ideas based around audio mapping, offering sample audio tracks on specific parts of New York City. I tried to send them a sample from Dunedin but wasn't part of their deal to extend their sounds out of NYC. So in a way i'm replicating my own version.
Another example of the multiple video/audio documents in conjunction with mapping came from an interactive electronic mini cinema inside the Australian Centre of the Moving Image (acmi). They had a suburban sprawl of Melbourne with videos, short films and documentaries scattreed through out.

NOW that idea does sound very similar to what I intend on creating...but the content of video is going to be different and targetting a different market sinse the work will be on the web and orientated towards visitors to the city who are researching places of interest... and also hopfully just a fun interesting website to visit.
